I'm a New Dress.

We present the HERALD to-day IN q
new dress. The types We're cast at the
foundry of Palmer Il Rey, San Fran
cisco, whose reputation for handsome
and elear-cut faces is rapidly becoming
national. We do not believe that more
regular or graceful-faced fonts are cast
by any of the Eastern foundries than
those upon which the HERALD is now
printed. We have also, it will be seen,
adopted the new style, large-faced
Arabic figures in preference to the
we.,zen-faced and misleading figures
heretofore used. Tabular work set up
in these figures will give every char
acter SO clear and pronounced that the
header will run no risk of mistaking
:, for ) or an 8, for 4, or for
40. Three figures OF this cast occupy
the space which four, made from the
old style matrices, took up. This inn
movement will be especially appre-
riated in bank statements and in legal
advertisements wherein metes and
bounds form an important feature
We take it that the HERALD will
now strike the eye of the technical and
general reader as being very credit
able paper geographically. Our new
Cottrell press works admirably; but
We will soon have to set it aside for a
much faster machine in order to meet
the exigencies of our rapid increase
in circulation.

THE deterioration in yield and in
the quality of fruit OF some Of our old
orange orchards has been the subject
of surprise to a few superficial OBJ
servers. To hear these people talk
one would suppose that the richest
soil could not become exhausted by
constant depletion. Some Of our or
chards have been yielding large crops
for twenty or thirty year. Fertiliza-
tion has never been considered neces-
sary, and impoverishment of the vital
principles Of the soil was not thought
of. Yet some of our orange growers
have found that nature, even here,
has limits to her possibilities. No
more than in other countries can the
soil OF Los Angeles stand the
deteriorating effects of constant ex-
haustion. Hence the more advanced
orchardists are renovating their i'm
poverished lands with composts, and
those who are wise enough to secure
the most approved fertilizers are the
ones who are raising the best quality
of oranges and gathering in the larg-
est crops. Mr.. A. B. Chapman, of
San Gabriel, last year fertilized five
acres of trees with imported bone-dust,
and he was well rewarded by the
size of the yield and the inn
proved quality of the fruit. His
experience, and that Of others, shows
that we shall hereafter require to fer
tilize in order to make the old orchards
keep up to their former standard. A
bone-dust factory here would prove of
great value, and we learn that efforts
are now making to establish one. All
the material of this section for making
bone-dust is now carried to San Fran
cisco, manufactured into a fertilizer
and shipped to the Sandwich Islands
to restore the exhausted sugar
lands of Hawaii. We want that
bone-dust here, and a factory in Los
Angeles would retain it for our use.
What we now buy has to pay double
transportation, and that brings it up
to almost prohibitory price. With a
bone-dust factory here We could save
the cost of freight two ways, and pro-
cure the article in its pulverized state
ready to spread upon our orchards at a
rate that would enable every cultivator
to use it, and thus keep up the excellent
quality Of our oranges, and maintain
the yield of fruit to the highest stand
ard. An experienced bone-dust
manufacturer is here ready to start
mill. We have plenty of material to
keep such a factory going, apd We
hope that parties interested will take
the proper steps to encourage the
establishment here OF an industry
that is so necessary to the continued
success of one of our leading interests.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-07-10

THE news from the Sandwich
Islands confirms the predictions made
by the HERALD three weeks ago, that
a revolution was imminent and would
bring the King to terms. By the arri-
val at San Francisco of the steamer
Mariposa advices are received of the
organization of the people and their
seizure OF the Palace. They appropri-
ated all the arms coming into port,
put police protectorate over all the
public buildings, and, in effect, placed
King Kalakaua under duress. He
readily yielded to all their demands,
dismissed the recusant Ministers,
promised all the reforms asked for,
agreed to grant new Constitution, to
rule hereafter in accordance with its
spirit and letter, and to accept Mr..
Green as Prime Minister to form a
new Cabinet that would suit the
revolutionists. 1t seems that there
was general desire to give King
David another chance, and King
David seems to have been glad to get
get it. He accepts the situation with
due humility, and will continue to
reign as long as he lives up to the
sp:rit of his uromispS Warwick
Whitney is now on top. Everything
will run along pleasantly for while,
until Kalakaua falls into his old ways,
when he will give himself into the
hands of new favorites who will re-
peat the history of past favorites, and
when they fall they will drag the King
down with them for good.

THOSE who imagine that this is an
off year in Southern California, and
that crops are short, should 60 into
the alfalfa, corn and potato fields and
fruit orchards OF this section, and see
for themselves. A news note in an
other column states that the great
cannery at Cotton is now obliged to
refuse offers of one hundred tons pei
week of apricots and peaches on ac-
count of lack OF help to take care OF
the fruit. This does not look much
like short crops, but looks more like
large crops, large wages and little help.

''Vic Smith is famous character in
the northern territories, and though he
is less than thirty-five years of age his
experience as government scout has
given him wider knowledge of the
country along the Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers, the Big and Little Horn, and
Powder, MusselShell and Tongue rivers

spent a day in Mics company last sum-
mer, and he told me an event in his life
that was as re markable as it it was in
teresting," said a gentleman to San
Francisco Examiner reporter. He was
born in Milwaukee and ran away from
home at the age of thirteen. When sew
enten he was carrying mail between Fort
AAbererombie, on on Devils Lake, and
Grand Forks. The city of Grand Forks
was then only wolf station. That is,
there was only shed for travellers to
put up at and for men who poisoned
wolves for living during the winter.
They received bounty money for each
tail and sold the pelts, and they did
quite well during the fall and winter.
1t was in the fall when the frosts were
heavy and biting cold that rich pros
pectOr named Brown arrived at the wolf
station and told the men that he was
looking for land. He intimated that he
had $1,000 upon him, and was anxious
to have it laid away in some secure
place for the several days he would re-
main in camp. The men were all sup
posed to be honest, and the traveller had
no fear.
I'm the camp was absolute man
named Robinson, who had been lOung-
ing about for a month and making HIM
self generally obnoxious to the other
men. Brown had been i'll camp three
days when Robinson took leave of the
men with the remark that he was going
up to the fort, which was 12O miles dis
tant and three days ride.

Fort Abercrombie with his mail, and

Jupiter was pair of stays, the adorn-
ments described by the ancient Greek
and Latin poets being in all probability
the 'mamillares" made of many folds
of the finest cambric tightly wound
round and round the female form, after
the manner of tho turban of Turkish
mollah OF one of Beau Brum-
melPs cravats. The Empress Messa-
lima was want to have her body cravat
adjusted very tightly before she pro-
ceeded to pass happy evening in the
Saburra; while in the reign of Augustus
an improved corset was introduced,
called "castula;'' it fitted closely to
the form. and had the agreeable addi-
ton of a dress imprOver. Busks seem
to have been invented in Greece, to
have been made of linden wood, and
worn by both sexes, since AristOphanes
bantered CinesiaS as the man who wore
the linden-a curious anticipation of
TennySOn's padded man that wears the
stays" The ladies' stays of the middle
ages were known as ''justaucOrps,"
and subsequently as ''cOtteshardies; but
lsabeau deBaviere, the c0nsOrt of Charles
vi. OF France, totally repudiated stays,
and, besides, laid it down as Sumptu-
airy canon that there should be as little
